    It's a good, kitschy sort of time. They have some pretty tasty drink concoctions and you can have a fun time looking around for all the secrets. We ate there once and it was pretty tasty. I wouldn't hang out there on a regular basis, but it's a must go at least once.

    Love the "ping" as you called it. Most stadiums don't use - I usually just add it myself. I didn't know I did it until the BF pointed it out to me - now we do it all the time.

    I got a Fan's Choice this season and it was our first season having them. We chose our section and have been in that section for every game. We did not get Opening Day. We have moved within about four rows, but have had the same two seat numbers for pretty much every game. We are in Terrace Reserve and are behind home plate and actually decided to buy our tickets fairly late in the process - basically right before single seats went on sale. We were told that fixed packages are filled first and then Fan's Choice are filled, so that accounts for most of the movement.

    Definitely ran into Braun at the Qdoba on Prospect tonight. He took a pic with my bf and signed the bobble I just happened to have with me because our ticket rep gave it to us tonight. He didn't seem weirded out at all when I whipped that puppy from my purse! He all but approached my bf, who was wearing a Braun jersey. Smiled and said hey to him first as he was walking past our table. He was with two guys and we're still debating whether one was his brother Steve, though Steve has a broken ankle and I didn't see a cast or limp from this guy, who was wearing one of the gold jersey tees with Braun's name on the back. Other friend was rocking an Affliction tee, of course. Braun had a beautiful white Mercedes that I didn't get close enough to see what style. No plates - still had dealer plates from Encino.

    Yeah - I also can't believe I missed this before the actual event - I'm within walking distance! Make sure you give us the details for the next go-round, Brian! Sunday's aren't usually my favorite bar time, but since I can pretty much walk over in my pj's, I'll definitely come check it out!

    Two tickets in Section 422, row 17. These are in between the green pillars, directly behind home plate in Terrace Reserved, and are part of my 20-pack. I'm asking face, which is $14 each. Can meet anywhere in the Milwaukee area between now and then, or before the game, as I'll be tailgating. Some family came in town and we bought a group of tickets elsewhere in the stadium. I can't check BF.net at work, so email me at nicole(dot)haase(at)gmail(dot)com

    I'd like one of these - I have a Braun from this year to trade.

    I'm at basically Humboldt and North, so I'll be there bright and early with coffee in hand.

    That park is very near my house, I don't have Prince or Cam and I get a chance to ask McClung if calling him Irish Coffey is correct! Sweet!

    I've been to Wrigley numerous times in the past few seasons and always take the Purple Line from the Northern suburbs. The biggest appeal here is that you don't have to take 94, you can take 41 down. People always poo poo me when I say this and say trains don't run often enough, but I've never, ever had an issue - I've been during the week and on weekends. I'm in Milwaukee and I love this option. The furthest north station is Linden. If you do chose to take 94, you get off the freeway, take the street you end up on directly east and end up at the station. It couldn't be easier. They have their own parking lot and I believe it costs $2 or $3.

    Zippers are really easy to replace if you have any sewing skill whatsoever, so you might want to just ask around at work or with your family if they no anyone who sews. Otherwise, I've heard good things about Ted's Tailor Shop on Watertown Plank in Elm Grove

    We also liked the bbq and selection at Jack Stack. We bought both their rub and sauce (which were very inexpensive) to bring home and have loved them both. If you have kids, the Hallmark visitor's center has a place called Kaleidoscope that was really cool, even for the adults. You get a full hour in there and they have tons of arts and crafts and you get to take it all home with you. We really had a blast in there with my 8-year old niece.

    It's about time they made a decision on that. It seemed inevitable and the way it dragged on seemed unnecessary.

    I DVR'd the game, but couldn't resist checking the score on my phone throughout the day and I have to say I'm still shocked and I took a lot of pleasure in breaking the news to a few of my soccer minded friends. I really hope this isn't a one off, but I agree with whomever said that this makes me even more excited for the WC next year. Heard news that games will be played at 835 and 135 CST, so I'm thinking there will be a few half-days of vacation taken in there. The strikers did a much better job of getting back and covering ground than they had in the early rounds - they were caught trying to cherry pick and that really changed the way the defense was played for the rest of the team. I really thought that with Spain's ability for pinpoint accuracy through the air, they'd be catching the US unawares. Props to Bradley for altering strategy.

    Kohl's sells them and they're marked 75, I think, but being Kohl's, they're always at least 20% off.

    When Cubs single game tickets went on sale, the Brewers and Amtrak came out with a thing that if you bought tickets to this game and showed them at the MP box office, they gave you a bright yellow shirt with this logo on it as well as free round-trip Amtrak fare.

    Funny that all the Pirates gimmicks had to do with McClouth. Wonder if they already did the meet and greet/auto sessions before the trade, but the signed jersey, etc... is ironically funny now.

    Sadly not, but I'll give a Geaux LSU Tigers!!

    We were in St. Louis for four days for the series in May and had a blast. People were very nice and talkative and knowledgeable and every time we got good-naturedly razzed, we made a crack about first place or how we could just join together in hating the Cubs and everyone was cool. We even had a guy break away from a graduation meal at a restaurant in the Hill to come talk ball with us. Are you going to have a car in St. Louis? We totally ate our way through the city - Italian on the Hill, Gus' Pretzels, Pappy's BBQ and Crown Candy Kitchen - and I would highly recommend all of them!!! DO NOT MISS PAPPY'S. I have family in and have spent time in St. Louis, Memphis and KC and this was by far the best BBQ I've ever had. The brisket was melt in your mouth good. Plan on going for lunch - they only make so much food per day and when it runs out, it's out, so you can't wait til dinner. I have a whole post up about visiting Busch over on Ladies, but feel free to message me. We stayed across the river in Illinois, but had no issues getting to and from anywhere, always parked near the stadium reasonably and had a great time. I thought the stadium was great - the grass was beautiful, there were no bad sightlines, it's cool having the Arch in the background and the ushers never cared if we moved seats. Also, make sure you eat a Bratzel at the game - a brat wrapped in pretzel! It was spectacularly yummy, but they're only available at a few concession stands.

    I didn't realize how much that parking lot terrain goes up and down. We ended up one row too far back in terms of being at the top of the small bowl that is formed there and were behind a bunch of trucks and SUVs, so we were a little concerned about seeing. It would have been fine in warmer weather - we could sit in chairs to see between the vehicles. Instead, the people next to us left or moved, so we moved the car over a little, sat in the back and tied the hatch partway down to not block the people behind us. They said there were sound issues, though we didn't have any and they ended up starting Sandlot over after about 20 minutes, so the night was even later than we'd planned. But all in all, it was really nice and I heard they've already announced they'll do it again in August.

    We like to play count the Affliction shirts at places like Summerfest and last season at MP. I'm sure the Remetee will be this summer's joke of choice instead.

    Block parties were one a date the first year and two a date last year, but you can't really tell what the single party will do to the chaos because they just weren't as well known the first season.

    Both Riverview and the new in 2010 dorm are about a block from my house. I didn't go to UWM, but I can tell you that this neighborhood area seems to get hit with less of the late-night robberies than the campus area. You are on busier North Ave, which I think helps with bus access to places and you're directly across the street from a grocery store, which is nice. I wouldn't be overly worried about the robberies - they happen in every college campus area because there is a proliferation of clueless folks walking around late at night with nice cells phones/iPods/laptops. You're also within walking distance of the Oakland/North restaurants and bars and Whole Foods as well as the Brady/Farwell area.

    It will be interesting to see what happens with ratings - Conan's appeal is very different from Leno's and I think he'll alienate a lot of Leno's viewers. Conan's humor and schtick can be very grating and juvenile sometimes and I can't see the 50-somethings that enjoy Leno will not make the transition with him.

    I'd be interested in one, as well, if there are extras about. Thanks
